Why Robin Makes Batman Better If you thought the screenshots of the PSP video game based on the live-action catastrophe Dragonball Evolution were bad, wait until you see the game in motion.
Whoops! Atari are recalling every single copy of Dragon Ball Origins in Australia, after it was discovered the rating handed out to the game didn’t quite match some of it’s naughtier moments.
The Dragonball movie looks… eh. And that movie is getting a Dragon Ball Z Budokai-style PSP fighter that trades Dragonball cell shaded characters with movie actors.
Look, I don’t even like Dragonball. But still, I know enough about it to know this trailer will make people upset.
Everyone’s favourite upcoming goofy Hollywood flick Dragon Ball is apparently getting a slightly reworked title: Dragonball Evolution. This isn’t yet confirmed by studio 20th Century Fox, but URL DragonballEvolutionmovie.com redirects to FoxMovies.com.
The movie event of next year, Dragonball: Goku Freakazoid Face, will be getting a slightly earlier US release: Wednesday April 8, 2009. Nothing like a mid-week release to beat the weekend release rush. This comes after the movie was pushed from its original release date of August 15, 2008 to April 10, 2009. Re-shoots and post production caused the 2009 delay, and fingers crossed it has ample Goku Freakazoid Face. We love GFF!
This mysterious still from the Dragonball movie popped up online, but Fox Studios has been trying to erase it. (No wonder — look at it!) The image shows Goku in his freakazoid monster form. But the make-up reminds all of something else entirely… That, after the jump.
It’s not the movie’s fault. This is simply a super short clip from Japanese TV network NHK that shows off…not much of anything. (At least the dragonball looks decent!) The movie is getting released in Japan next spring. The country’s reaction to Hollywood’s interpretation should be interesting, but it should do decent enough here. Some people in Japan are more impressed with Hollywood doing a big budget adaptation than with Hollywood doing a good big budget adaptation.
Hollywood is bringing manga/anime Dragonball to the silver screen. Early peeks haven’t exactly been promising, leading a general feeling that the rot has already set in. Website Ain’t It Cool News was a sent a review from a reader who claims to have seen 95-100 minutes of the film, minus the credits, missing the score and lacking finished special effects. According to the reader, “Overall, I would give the movie a 6.5/10 simply because i was expecting disaster but it turned out better… I am glad it aint the disaster I thought it would be.” The reader even went on to call the movie “solid.” Not sure if this is a plant or not, but hit the jump for a breakdown of the movie’s positives and negatives. There are spoilers.
Someone at the Brand Licensing Expo Europe 2008 managed to catch this cam footage of somewhat less-than-eagerly anticipated film adaptation of the popular manga/anime/video game series Dragon Ball. As was expected, it looks relatively hideous, from Chow Yun-Fat’s hideous costume to James Marsters reprising his role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Spike, who in turn tries to portray Lord Piccolo. Don’t worry about the sound, there is none in this early preview trailer. Somehow I think we’re better for it.
